Surprised my wife who did not know that the three-year restoration of our 1950 Ford F1 Pickup was completed. I entered it into the 2008 Concours D'Elegance in Newprt RI and had the restorer deliver the truck right to the show. My wife saw the truck and was oogling at it giving me a bit of a hard time because ours was taking so long and look how nice this one is! Then I explained to her that this one was, in fact, ours. I never saw my wife so amazed. We still hav...
I found my fathers x 44 on the catamount stadiums webb site . I have been looking for this car for many years.

IN 2003 I MANAGED TO GET A HONDA CB360 THAT HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE OWNERS SHED IN NEW JERSEY FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS. THE OWNER HAD SEVERAL BIKES AND WAS READY TO SCRAP THEM.

TRYING TO RAISE A FAMILY AND PAY THE BILL DID NOT LEAVE MUCH ROOM FOR SPENDING ALOT OF MO...

The 1957 BMW Isetta 300 Sliding Window Cabriolet you see here has had an interesting life. It started out in March of 1957. After being built, according to the BMW archives, it was delivered to New York City a very fast 3 days later.
